What aspect of skating did you particularly enjoy today?

[Tommy G]

I just got off a really bad foot injury, and it's still hurting in my arch, so I can't last particularly long before the pain becomes too much to deal with. I went out to get my tricks back that I've lost since I injured myself, and man did it take a lot of willpower and determination. I was mainly trying to get kickflips and heelflips back. I rolled my ankle on a heelflip and I've been scared to do them for fear of doing it again, but I powered through and finally landed one, albeit sketchy. Next up was kickflips, and the combination of bad habits and a slight bit of fear ran through my head as I missed each one I tried. Finally, I convinced my head that I was trying it up a little Euro gap and finally landed it before heading back to my room for the night. I just had the urge to skate after a long day of early and night classes, and I'm absolutely glad I did. I know I'm not gonna just land those tricks every try now that I got one of each, but tonight showed me that I really don't need to let my head mess with me and I just need to keep trying to get what I want. Skateboarding's awesome.

Pushing to keep up with the dog on an empty bike trail next to the bay. full speed ahead with a few 180 no complies, powerslides, switch pushing and all stoke before the rain started.

I was skating our diy yesterday and I was feeling a bit off, kinda just cruised and drank beers more than real skating when all of a sudden this guy in a wheelchair arrived, just parked his chair at the other corner where people were. Of course being a bit drunk and social fucker that I am I asked him to join the crew and in no time he was there cruising,doing manuals and shit and man, that gave me a blast to actually skate instead of drinking/chitchatting. Best sessions this year so far

[dirtyweemidden]

first time back on board since mangling my foot in January, the safety tricks are still in the bag.
But double dstoked cos i took my kid to the park with me and its the first time hes been stoked on trying to skate, pumping round the bowl with him on my board laughing and shouting to go faster it was sick

[Mundungus]

Ollied an ottoman in my living room while drunk last night, got a good response from the plebeians

[Lame_Nigga]

Consistently started being able to Fakie Shove over small benches (Quel got me feeling inspired). Also relearned fakie bigspin manuals, and overcame my fear of this two foot tall flatbar I cracked my ribs on a few years ago. Felt productive

Swapping out Indy 159s with Bones mediums to Ace 55s to my 8.9" cruiser board and pushing some 8 km with it to get my bike. Felt like home! Awesome feeling even if they're not properly broken in yet. That turn is magical!I love it so much more than Indys. Got Aces on all my setups now and plan on keeping it that way!

Wait until you bend all the axles. Not hatin' just sayin'

[shit_for_brains]

I built a box. Now when my back stops hurting from being hunched over building it, I can skate that shit every day.

I'll wait. I've skated mostly 44s for a few years now. No problems so far, but I'm old and never skated anything high impact anyway, so I don't think it'll be much of a problem for me. I've got three sets of 44s around and this one set of 55s, so I've got some spares if something happens. Also seems that Aces are starting to be better available around these parts, so I might actually be able to buy new ones if I manage to break something. I love Ace and it's gonna need quite something to change my mind. 

[Beeker]

Slipped out on a back 180 off my stoop and was bummed because it hurt and my board was going down the hill, but then it hit the tire on my car and came right back and didn't hurt for very long.

[Chapingro]

skated with a friend who had broke his foot a few months ago - he said it was his first session with another person in a long time. great to cruise around with him and film a lil line at the lil ledge spot next to the stanford hubba.

tomorrow i'm stoked to connect with a dude who built a local diy and learn how to repair some of the concrete stuff.

let's get it

[shark tits]

left my house thinking of getting new wheels and i bombed my usual hills but everything seemed different. and completely new to me.
i was going faster than usual and traffic at the bottom of the 2nd hill was at a stop. i had to thread the needle at speed w/ a knapsack but did i footdrag? no i did not. i've got a little jake phelps on my shoulder at times like these.
i had to lean way to the right and take a side street to slow down since i was cocked and blocked from crossing the bottom intersection but it was exhilarating sliding between traffic and riding it out.
i ended up buying some 56s and i like that shit more!

Sick! I need to get rid of these 48's lol.

a homie inspired me to try some fakie big flips over an a-frame at one of my local parks and they are suprisingly fun and very easy, never really tried them before but i think i'll be doing them regularly from now on

[offkilter]

I've been making it a point to skate switch more often, and not push switch mongo because mine looks awful. I'm actually getting pretty comfortable with it and landing switch shuvs, back 180s and switch flips which I could never do. It feels awesome.
